Wishing Things were Different Tag Anyone

[Catalina Corinthos]

Catalina wished her life was different, she should be planning her wedding, and being open about it, and not hide the few plans she has made. She was going to marry Colby one day, that was for sure. But right now still pretending to be with Quenten and only him was taking its toll on her. She is turning parnoid sometimes, and she is even more careful about what she says and does. She is very worried that her and Colby are going to be found out, it would not be good if they were. Colby was not worried about Quenten but Catalina does, she knows better then anyone else how he gets when he is mad. And she does not want him to hurt Colby again that would kill her if he did, and it yet again it would be her fault.

She was just thinking of how they can take down Quenten soon and get back to normalacy. There had to be a way to do that. She was so lost in thought that she bumped into someone when she rounded a cornor. "Oh I am so sorry" she told them with a smile. "I didn't hurt you did I?"

"I have been hurt worse, so it's okay." Trixie said. She bent down to pick up the school books she had dropped. "Your Cat right...." Trixie had heard about her and Q and she didn't get it. Who in their right mind would let that guy come near her. He was such a beast. He must have some hold over the poor girl. It was the only way. Trixie was not stupid, she knew the only way Q could get a woman was through power and control.

"I'm Trixie." She held her hand out to Cat. Rumors had been flying about Q and Trixie and Zach. That whole hallway incident. She wasn't sure if Cat had heard, but it didn't matter, either way it looked at if Cat and her had something in common, "You okay? You look as if your head is in the clouds." Trixie commented. She switched her books to the other arm and sighed, "See you around."

Trixie moved to walk around Cat. She was normally a bitch, but this time she just couldn't be. Normally it would not be hard for Trixie to introduce her self, ask how you are (as if she really cared) and say bye, but this time Trixie stopped and turned toward Cat, "I am going to be very bold, but why are you dating Q. The man is a rapist, or rather an attempted rapist. How can you be with him." Of course Trixie did not know their history, but she knew Q had all but threatened to rape Trixie herself.

"And I know that from almost personal experience except I have been lucky." She commented. Q had not gotten her alone and Trixie wouldn't let him. "You deserve much better. Just saying...but you don't have to listen if you don't want to."

[Catalina Corinthos]

Cat listened to her and went pale. She then had another thought cross her mind, cause of her Quenten had no need to bother this girl. "Trixie trust me I know all he is and more" she said dryly. "And you had the first part right there is not attempted in a case" she said. She had no idea why she had a urge to tell this girl anything but she knew she could trust her instinctivly. She knew Quenten and what he was like and was scared of him. Quenten could scare anyone that seemed to be his specialty.

"Remember a few years ago he was arrested for rape but got off scott free. I am that girl, and it happened. And I am with him to keep him from killing the man I really love" she said to her. "Trust me that is the only way I am with him, if it was not for that I would be doing all I can to avoid him. But with me he is like a damn dog with a bone." She felt like she was his biggest obession, so with him and this whole plan to bring him down she had to tread lightly.

"And one day I will be with who I deserve and want I know just as much as I know I am breathing."

[Trixie Michaels]

"And when will that be. Tomorrow, two months, three years from now. Don't you get it. A guy like Q gets off on the fact you are with him to protect your boyfriend. Thats all the power a man like him needs. With that power, that day you are wishing for will never come." Trixie told her, "I know about abuse. i know about being oppressed and someone having all the power." Trixie said referring to her dad. Sure Q scared the hell out of her, but she knew abusers and rapist and she knew they loved power.

Trixie eyed Cat. "Take away his power. It's all you can do. Yeah he might come after you, but being scared is what he wants." Sure it was easier to say when you were not the one he was obsessed with, but what happened when Q lost Cat. Other women would be targeted. Hell who even said Cat was enough. Q could be raping someone this moment.

It was not right. OF course Trixie was not about to go head to head with Q, the guy did scare her, but she also could not stand to see this poor girl get dragged through the mud. "Blame my boyfriend, but I seem to be less of a bitch these days...what I am trying to say is I want to help bring that son of a bitch down. He threatened me and I would rather not live watching over my shoulder." She had done that once already. "So you ready to make that day come true....or are you going to keep playing good girl to Q's bad boy."

"It won't be long before it is all over" Cat said. Her and Colby had been talking plans. Well when they stopped kissing when they had time together. She gently pulled the girl in a empty classroom and shut the door. "The deal is I am back with Colby the guy I love and that I am going to marry. But Quenten does not know and we have been using play pratice as a cover up" she said softly. "And we are talking about ways to bring him down. I could just leave but we don't want him doing this to anyone else. And we do have tread lightly since he already raped me and attempted it a few other times and he put Colby in the hosptial once. We don't want anything like that to happen." That was the reason Cat just did not leave, it needed to be where Colby was safe and she was safe and they could stop Quenten for good.

"I guess you can say I love Colby so much I would do anything for his safety. And this is not forever so I can handle it. He hasn't made me have sex with him yet, there is always someway to put it off happily" she said to the other girl with a relieved look on her face. "I don't know how much longer I can though. I am a afraid if he does make me again then Colby will just get killed when he goes after him" she admited. "If anything happened to Colby I would lose my rock in this world" she said honestly. She sat on top of a empty desk and sighed. "This situation sucks so bad."

"I know Colby won't mind anyone else helping bring down the asshole" Cat said with a laugh. "I am glad I ran into you Trixie" she said honestly. "I mean my best friends Sidra I can't say anything yet we are going to talk to her later to bring in later, and well my other best friend Izzy I can't bother her with this stuff because her mom just died and I can't do that to her." She was always trying to protect others that was just how she was. "So it is good to get it all out I was going crazy keeping everything to myself."

[Trixie Michaels]

"Whoa...don't manhandle the cheerleader." Trixie said as she felt herself being pulled into the classroom. It was more of a joke then serious. The girl Cat had barely any weight in the pull and Trixie was sure she was stronger then Cat. The girl was tiny. She was only joking cause the girl seemed to need it. Yes this was a serious situation, but it seemed to be taking its toll on Cat. Trixie seemed to have a heart for once cause she felt bad for the girl. Perhaps it was the fact Trixie knew what it was like to be abused in a bad way. Damn DJ for bring out the bleeding vessel she had tried to keep hidden.

"This is Q we are talking about. He is like an ape. Dumb and stupid." Trixie commented, "The only thing he has is power and fear." She continued. "Messing with him is like poking a bear, all the bear knows is how to attack." Trixie said. "But I don't blame you guys for plotting and stuff. I might be able to talk to my brother. He and Q are sort of friends. Jay has to have some dirt on the guy. DJ, my boyfriend will help." It still felt weird at times to call someone boy friend. She hadn't been a girlfriend in a very long time.

"So what is your plan exactly, cause the longer it takes the more power Q gets. No matter what happens. Once this plan goes down that's it. Q will have no mercey for any of us, so let's hope what ever you are planning works. " Of course Trixie had a devilsih mind. She knew she could come up with something. Just as long as she was not alone.

[Catalina Corinthos]

"I wouldn't call him dumb and stupid" Catalina said honestly. He was a rapist jerk off but he was not dumb. He was smart even though he put out a different vibe. He is knows how to get to people and what can hurt them and knows what to say. He is always thinking what to do to the next person and he seems to always come up wtih the perfect thing to hurt them. Just like he knew the way to get her to do what he wants is to threaten Colby, he knows Cat would do anything and everything to keep him safe. "I found out about Quenten over the years and he is smart and knows how to take advantage of any situation and how to control a person" she said honestly. She sighed and began to pace as her agitation shot up. She wanted this over and to be openly with Colby again and planning their wedding.

"Your brother won't ask questions about why you want to know anything?" Cat asked her. They can't even give Quenten any kind of small clue because he would want answers and would do anything to get the answers. "We can use all the help we can get.And with more then just Colby he is not dumb enough to attack to many guys at once knowing that is a losing battle" she said. She glanced over at the girl Trixie, she could tell she truely wanted to hlep.

"We don't have a set plan yet but I want it to involve pain" she said matter of fact and honestly. Catalina was not a mean and hateful person but after everything Quenten did she wanted him to feel pain he deserved it. "I have a good feeling he will leave us alone once this is all over" she said. "I just get that gut feeling" she said. She closed her eyes as she felt a headache come on. "I just want it over" she said honestly. "I want to be with Colby all the time, and I want to get married in a few months like we planned. I want to be with him and I will make sure I am" she said fiercely and turn blazing eyes on the girl. She was over the fear and pain she was ready to get back her life, she was feeling her old fire and passion come back. "And hell hath no fury like a woman tormented by the man" she said.

Suddenly she glanced at the other girl. "So you believe me what I said about Quenten raping me before?" No one believed her till now, well no one except Izzy and Sidra and Colby. "I had no evidence left I took a shower, they only had signs of rough sex with the internal exam but that they could not use in the case." She was still angry aobut it if she was honest. "I am still angry and I want him to pay" she admited. "They justic system let him off like they do so many rapist, but he needs to pay to know never to do that to a girl again, and I want to be the one that makes him sorry."

[Trixie Michaels]

"My brother owes me for a lot of crap he has been doing lately. He won't ask shit. He will help. I'll make him." Trixie told Cat, "Don't worry. My brother is loyal. I know Q is not stupid. He waits...and lies in wait until the right time to attack. For a guy who seems to lack patients he does have them at times. its annoying." Trixie said. "He is like a cockroach and won't die." Trixie agreed. "I know he is not dumb, dumb, but still. Everyone has a weak spot and it ignorant about something. We just have to find it."

She nodded her head, "The more help the merrier." Trixie said with a sigh. Trixie noticed the smoldering fuse inside of Cat. she had the same fuse at times. Only Trixie never showed it cause it took certain triggers to ignite the fuse. Trixie just nodded, "I hope you get to be with your man." Trixie said in a genuine nice voice. "I sound as if I am going soft." She kind of was.

"Yes, I believe you. He practically threatened me in the middle of school, that the next time he gets me alone he will have his way with me. Only lucky for me some guy named Zach interfered and then they got into a huge fight." Trixie told Cat, "So I believe you. Plus Jay has told me stories. He would come home drunk and blabbing about Q. Jay would talk about how Q would brag about women and fighting back." Trixie said to Cat, "I always found that guy creepy, from the moment I met him. He gives off a creepy vibe. So yes I believe you."

Trixie bit the inside of her lip, "The system has its flaws. Rape comes down to he said she said and then it comes down to credibility." She told the girl. "I don't blame you for showering right after. Who would want that memory of that feeling on their skin." Trixie looked down, then back up. "I use to shower twice a day, never worked. The dirt....I could never get clean. Never. No matter how hard I tried. I would rub my skin until it turned red and it never helped. Sometimes I could barely walk it was so sore. Rough does not even begin to describe it." Trixie said. That was probably the most she had ever told anyone about her sexual abuse.

Trixie typed a text on her phone to DJ then pocketed her phone. She eyed Cat. "I just texted DJ so hopefully he will show up, if not I plan to see him at lunch so i can reign him in then. He will do as I ask." Trixie said trying to sound as if she was superior to DJ, but her voice cracked a little, which signaled she knew better. DJ had her in the palm of his hand and as much as she hated it, she loved having a guy who could finally stand up to her. No one ever did that. The weaklings int his school let Trixie walk all over them, no one stood up to her. Trixie loved being feared, but at the same time it was sad not seeing anyone with a backbone...however, Trixie didn't really have one herself.

[Catalina Corinthos]

"Then I am sure one of the girls that Q has bragged about. Always said I was his favorite since I was a virgin and everything" she said with a sigh and sat down. "I hate him for what he did to me, for the way he still can affect me and hurt me." She thought she was getting over everything, but even the therapist did not know the extent of her feelings. She kept it inside, she needed to stay strong and not break down. "It makes me sick what he might have told your brother about me. I don't want anyone knowing anything about it other then that it happened" she said with a shuddered. Just knowing he might of bragged in detaila bout it made her shudder with disgust and make her feel dirty all over again.

"I was so heartbroken after breaking up with Colby that I ignored my gut feelings. I wanted to be admired to take away the heartbreak and by the time I realized he was a monster. I was under him and he was forcing himself in me and I never felt such pain." She was raw with what she said and the emotions from that night came rushing back over her washing her completely in them. She refused to cry not till it was over, that was the only way she could heal this needed to be over. She turned away and stared out the window while calming down.

She turned to the girl her dark eyes showing a haunted pain filled look. No one has ever saw it not even Colby. This other girl did because she knew what Cat felt like. "I am sorry for what happened to you" she said softly. "You never feel clean" she said softly. "You let people think you are okay but really inside you are screaming and want to just do something to take away the pain" she said to her just as softly.

"I will talk to Colby today after the funeral. I am going to be able to see him for the first time openly in public at it." There was no way that she could not go. Izzy was her best friend and she wanted to be there for her beacuse she knows exactly what she was going through. "We shouldn't be seen togethe or Quenten will start asking questions. Here is number" she passed it to her. "Call me after school" she said. "I will know the plan by then."
